How the Cookie Crumbles

The Courtyard by Marriott Nusa Dua Bali Offers Cookies of Good Fortune to Guests Staying Over Chinese New Year February 10-18, 2013

(1/11/2013) The approaching Chinese “Year of the Snake” portends good luck and prosperity for guests staying at The Courtyard by Marriott Nusa Dua Bali between February 10 and 18, 2013.

Guests arriving during the Chinese New Celebrations period will each receive a chef-made fortune cookie upon arrival with prizes that include entrance passes to the nearby Museum Pasifika, dinner at the prestigious Bulgari Resort and reflexology and couples’ spa treatments. Other holiday prizes include two nights deluxe, two nights premium, three nights pool terrace, and five nights one-bedroom suite with a beach club dinner, spa treatment for two and free happy hour. There’s also a chance to win two-nights accommodation at one of Marriott’s sister properties in Malaysia - the Renaissance Kota Bharu.

At check-in guests will receive the customary welcome drink and then presented with a bowl of Chinese Fortune Cookies from which to draw a homemade cookie containing a slip with details of their prize.

According to proven and time-honored beliefs, those born in the Year of the Snake ---1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989 and 2001---are known to become bored easily and need sleep and relaxation to live long, healthy lives. They are cautious about investments but can make lightning decisions, solve problems quickly, and generally are lucky with money. They are selective about making friends and do not deprive themselves of luxuries. Snakes on vacation love luxurious things, often spending their money on material desires and their holidays must pamper their every desire or they become stressed.

Guests staying at The Courtyard by Marriott Nusa Dua Bali during the New Year period will find reference material in their room detailing the entire Chinese Zodiac.
